If your first framebuffer is not recognized by the system, NetBSD 1.1 
should cope with the cgtwo just fine.  If the on-cpu framebuffer _is_ 
recognized by the system, then under 1.1 (stock), you're likely to get a 
"multiple /dev/fb" panic.  I recently pulled changes from -current into 
1.1 for patch2 which fix this problem.

So, to re-cap: if your on-cpu framebuffer isn't currently recognized, the 
cgtwo should be OK.
